cognitive processing - Coggle Diagram

- - - - a digit span test used to determine the capacity of STM
      - he found that by chunking data we are able to remember more information, demonstrating the limited capacity of STM
    - - short-term memory - a store with limited capacity and duration. information enters from sensory buffer if attention is paid to the stimuli
      - long-term memory - where memory is stored after it has been rehearsed while in STM. it is of unlimited capacity and duration
      - sensory buffer - a temporary store holding information from the environment very briefly in the form in which it is recieved
        ( visual, auditory, tactile of olfactory )
  - - - aimed to investigate if articulatory suppression would influence recall of a writeen list of phonologically dissimilar letters in serial recall
      - data supports the prediction of the Working Model Memory that disruption of the phonological loop through the use of articulatory suppression results in less accurate working memory
    - - KF suffered brain damage from a motorcycle accident that damaged his STM, mainly for verbal information
- - - - they would give participants a problem to solve, i.e. an cryptic arithmetic problem, and ask them to solve it aloud
      - they would try to analyze the problem-solving strategy, mapping out the steps to develop an algorithm
    - - gives access to complex internal thought processes that would be unavailable
      - sample is not representative as it relies on participants who are fairly articulate
      - act of thinking aloud changes the thought processes so data is unnatural
  - - - focuses on what it sees
      - bases decision on past experience, using existing schema
      - quick, but prone to errors
      - generates impressions
      - takes short-cuts
      - operates automatically
